Game Boy Advance User Reviews

Truly a standout title from the GBA era. This turn based strategy game has lots of content and hours of gameplay. A must have title for GBA collectors.

One of my favorite games of all time. I discovered my love for military strategy thanks to this wonderful game.

Military-style strategy game that's easy to pick up and play but challenging to master. Engrossing, addictive and the turn-based format lends itself perfectly to portable gaming. One of the very best strategy titles you can buy.

While appearing to be a strategy game on the surface, Advance Wars frequently devolves into trial and error. In maps with fog of war, enemy unit locations are expected to be memorized through repeated playthoughs of the same map. Repetitive and unrewarding, Advance Wars pads out a small modicum of content with clunky and slow missions, bafflingly full of lifeless storytelling and cringeworthy writing. A poor effort all around.

A wonderful tactic tank troops game, I really liked it, has so many types of units and the game is challenging, worth to play, the game is kinda addictive, but really knows how to handle situations.

I like this game more than Fire Emblem, although some failing in the AI and how unbalanced it is, it brings it down a little bit, also I think the game thinks it's funnier than it actually is, except with the interactions of Olaf and Grit, those were consistently hilarious.

One of the best strategy games ever made, and a timeless classic. The playtime and the amount of enjoyment you can get out of all of the featueres is insane.

Legendary game. Sadly it's just a bit worse that AW2 and DS, so there is no reason to play this game anyomore (Except for Advance Campagin, but seriousely, you should enjoy your live)

Advance wars is an enjoyable if a little monotonous strategy game. The art style and general presentation still holds up 20 years later. And the music while good gets way over used and kind of lacks variety. The gameplay is fun and I really enjoyed the strategic elements that go into playing it. But the game I feel does tend to get very repetitive after a while of playing but as a handheld game it does work for just picking up and playing for short bursts. And while I liked the many characters in the games campaign the story is rather barebones and underwhelming. But still a fun experience non the less

The 1st real tactics game that got me into tactic game. So great and also has awesome sys link play.

El problema con Advance Wars esta en su curva de dificultad, volviéndose bastante difícil rápidamente con el paso del tiempo. Por lo que es bastante normal quedarse atascado durante horas o incluso días en un solo nivel. También el juego presenta problemas en la IA, ya que la IA a veces se queda a veces salteándose turnos de manera infinita hasta que vos hagas algo que "atraiga su atención". Y por ultimo, no olvidemos que esto es un "juego de estrategia". En un juego de estrategia medianamente decente como por ejemplo Age Of Empires, empiezan ambos bandos con recursos igualados y tropas, sin embargo, en este juego empiezas siempre con desventaja y esto es un problema en los niveles con niebla de guerra, ya que la IA abusa de la artillería. Tu no puedes ver al enemigo incluso si no se ponen en un bosque pero ellos si a ti a no ser que te escondas! Por que?! La música, la idea principal y los gráficos me encantaron, y hubiera sido uno de mis juegos de GBA favoritos si no hubiera sido por sus problemas bastante graves. No hay nada mas frustrante que quedarse 2 horas en un nivel para luego perder y tener que comenzar de cero. Si, es innovador lo se, pero recuerden esta pequeña frase: "Innovación no quiere decir calidad". Los juegos que han hecho historia por sus mecánicas nunca antes vistas pueden no ser tan buenos de jugar a día de hoy por no haber envejecido bien. Son muy pocos los juegos que realmente siguen siendo joyas para los estándares actuales...

One of the best game ever And we should have a sequel please please please.

Couldn't be any more satisfied with a video game. Hand helds are great and this game is one of the reason it was so.

Juegazo como una casa!!! Marco un antes y un después en los juegos de estrategia en "tablero". Desde el 2001 que salió este juego hasta el año pasado, no habian sacado prácticamente ningún juego de esta temática y de tal calibre, pero gracias al Wargroove esto a cambiado, y podemos disfrutar de un nuevo juego estilo Advance Wars actualmente. El Advance Wars es tan famoso no solo porque fue una revolución cuando salió (igual que el golden Sun), sino porque tiene una historia muy buena (simple, pero buena), una dinámica fácil de pillar, buenos controles, buenos gráficos pixel-art, y creo que podría seguir diciendo un sinfín de cualidades positivas de este juego. Si aún dispones de una Game Boy Advance por casa y tienes la oportunidad de jugarlo, no te lo pienses y juegalo, no te arrepentirás. (AVISO: engancha mucho!!!!)

The art style always scared me away, but wow I love this game. Even more than the sequel, but that's probably because I sank all my time into this one and replayed it and gave it that investment. It's a fun turn based strategy, but the real downfall is the mandatory tutorial.

A cute and simple strategy game which presents a variety of intriguing challenges alongside a fun learning curve. Advance Wars is especially notable for its unique "round table" multiplayer which is executed very well, especially for friendly and informal groups. Advance wars is a little bit slow-paced and built around some very old, tired grid-strategy game-design principles, but it is still fun nevertheless.

Such an excellent game that you will love playing if you like turn based strategy games...

one of the finest GBA games i have ever played in my life. the controls work perfect, there is much taught put into the story and the music is one of the best one the system. i love it!

WiiU owners: get it now! The game is great, simple but it works so well. Many different modes, in depth strategy. If you love the genre, you'll love this game.

Look i love fire emblem and this is just fire emblem but with tanks and war it has a battle sister so deep that i just kept loosing units because i didn't know it very well but after learning the tutorial that has a story yes a tutorial with story i didn't know what to do i checked vs mode but i didn't liked it it is really good the game has a fire emblem style but it lacks things like a story mode. a good game but needed more modes.

Very addicting game.

First time I chose to play a game with a different genre in a while; IGN made me get this game for giving it their highest score for a GBA game (9.9/10), and I thank them; the first time I played this, I was hooked; the tutorial mode is definitely essential; what really makes this game worthwhile is it's so long, and has so many maps to play on; you can play multiplayer in one system, taking turns, which is great; it is definitely an intense game and one of the best games ever made

oh t joy on my face when it arrived from amazon, yay i have it. Well worth it as you will probably spend hours on end figuring out the later puzzles. I enjoyed it even more as i picked it up for a fiver!
